4G: Expectations and your opinions?

3G has Failed in India Totally.. Many of the providers are Offering a GB for Rs 300-400.I am Expecting 4G to be available more cheaper May be 100 Per GB Or less than 100.Mukesh Owned Infotel However says They would provide Cheaper 4G (which would be 6 X Less than Present 3G Tariff) From what i Read in a PR.Let me Know your Opinions and What you expect?

Well i think Mukesh is ****ing with us. I mean reliance paid millions of dollars to secure license for 3G. It would try to recover its capital before deploying 4G. i maybe wrong. All i expect from 4G is cheaper broadband and clear video calling

Just because 3G prices are high you pronounce it fail?Go out to the stores and have a look if people are buying that expensive data or not.Let me tell you, they are.

Bobby, you are mixing two different people and companies. 3G License belong to RCOM owned by Anil Ambani whereas 4G belong to Reliance Infotel owned by Mukesh Ambani.

Mukesh has nothing to do with 3G or Reliance Broadband. I believe its managed by Anil Ambani Reliance Group.

I Agree, Many people including myself have an 3G connection who Shell out 350 Bucks Per Gb. But that doesn't mean it is Affordable.

I'll be happy if they can have Rs. 10/GB plans.

Nah. they're brothers. They'll not cut each other. Some time back i heard news that they are ending feud between them for their mother.

:lol:

Even if it is a big fail, 3G data prices in India are still very less compared to most countries. 4G will require different mobile equipment and prices would be even higher.

This was very old news and they actually gave up most of the dispute, but still Mukesh Ambani had invested comparatively less in 4G as compared to Anil Ambani for 3G. So, definitely 4G prices would be quite cheaper as compared to 3G.

You cant just speak Keeping MTNL in your mind.

oh yes actually someone already Mentioned on this Forum Earlier.. Airtel bought 3G License in 13 States for 12,000 Crore but Infotel Bought 4G License for ALL Circles at the same price. So i Expect a GB For Rs 100 Or lesser.

Nice but it wont happen.

Small Introduction on 4G Services:

4G (Forth Generation Networks)


Everyone’s focus now turns towards 4G because of its data rate. In high speed mobility communication it offers 100 Mbit/s (Such as trains or cars) and low mobility communication or fixed accessing would results 1 Gbit/s. This is a major revolution in wireless access technology.

It’s very much equivalent to getting a LAN or Gigabit Ethernet connection to a mobile device.


4G provides all IP communication with high speed access to smart phones, tablets, laptops and any mobile smart devices. Theoretically speaking this 4G access speeds are much more than Cable or DSL technologies in the sense 4G is faster than ADSL, ADSL2 or ADSL2+.


Once 4G is launched and if you have at least 54 Mbits/s (Worst case) download on your mobile handset or tablet, you can run any internet application as you do in desktop computers. For example you can run Skype, YouTube, IP TV apps, Video on Demand, VoIP Client and many more. If you have any VoIP client installed on your hand device you can make VoIP calls from your mobile. This is going to kill the mobile voice market soon. At the same time you can subscribe to any local numbers to your mobile VoIP client and start receiving calls on your mobile via IP.

You can use video calls over IP and have face to face meeting on go. You can make free video calls to your wife, girlfriend or even can have a video conference meeting while you are travelling if you are connected to 4G.

The 4G technologies in use are flash OFDM, 802.16e wireless or mobile WiMax and HC SDMA, UMB and Wi-Fi.

Before we talk 100 Mbit/sec or 1 Gbit/sec -(sure we have constant 7.2 mbps im some 3 G providers.Reliance claims 21 mbps .Any one who gets say around 14 mbps in reliance -please rise your hand)
what is the average consumer (upper middle class) willing to spend on say 10-20 GB 3G data (right now I will sAY MAX RS 1000 Budget)😛leasantry:
people with more modest means are happy with GPRS say 2 GB @ rs 150 budget /month.
Voice -average user is still below Rs 200.But let us say business people and well helled people spend around Rs 760-1000 /month on voice.

MAN! wait a sec! So reliance is planning to launch 'real' 4G right? not 3.5G or 3.9G ?

Reliance 4G service soon to Launch by December >> Future Tech - Techno18: Technology Blog India



Reliance company was previously slow down their 4G plans but they, finally reveal that they are soon going to launch their 4G network service in December. By this action from reliance, other telecom industries stated planing to launch their 4G network in the first quarter of the coming year. The company has chosen the LTE technology and they are very bound about their security clearance.

There are two company that power 4G or BWA technology and they are LTE and WiMax. They offer lightning fast speed Internet (or wireless broadband) that can access more than 100mbps speed. The best part of the technology is that it supports both GSM and CDMA network.



I guess that ends your worry. 🙂

Bro, This Video answers your query. It clearly says that In Motion we would be getting 3-5 Mbps and on Wifi and Static postion we would be getting 100 Mbps.

ARPU is actually not so impressive.

All India Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) is Rs. 275. Post-paid ARPU is Rs. 632. Prepaid ARPU Rs. 230.

CDMA: ARPU (prepaid+postpaid) at Rs. 173. Lowest ARPU is in West Bengal (Rs.127) while the highest blended ARPU is in Mumbai (Rs. 274)

But as we know broadband wireless access (BWA) services raised a total of $5.5 billion, roughly half of the $11 billion raised during the 3G auctions. So we can expect cheaper and faster service of 4G as compared to 3G.
